May 29, 2009

Discussions were held on the morning of
May 29, 2009 before the final technical session. All in attendance at
the meeting were invited to contribute.

This year's meeting - an assessment

The meeting was almost exclusively devoted to Jmol and WebMO.
These seem to be strong and stable tools and it seems reasonable to
base future developments on these packages.

There is some enthusiasm over a "MoleCVUE product". Specific
plans were developed.

Next
year's meeting

It
was proposed and agreed that next year's meeting should be held at
Elizabethtown College again. It was also proposed that the meeting be
pushed forward to the week before Memorial Day. The dates of May 24-26,
2010 were proposed. There were no objections.

It was suggested that Jim Foresman organize the meeting. This
will be finalized after further discussions.

Carl Salter tentatively proposed Moravian College as the site
for the 2011 MoleCVUE meeting.

It was suggested that early announcements and reminders be sent
out to try to boost attendance.

It was suggested that we invite theWebMO developers to the
meeting. Kevin Range volunteered to contact them early to avoid
conflicts.

A Blackboard account will be set up so that MoleCVUE
participants can communicate through the year on progress on the various
tasks. Gary Hoffman will set this up.

The idea of an NSF grant proposal to set up a MoleCVUE server
was floated again.
